The CONFOCHECK is a dedicated FT-IR system for the investigation of proteins in water. Its specific configuration facilitates a fast data acquisition (ca. 30 sec. per sample) with a high sample throughput controlled by an extremely user-friendly software interface.
Main applications for the CONFOCHECK are the detection and quantification of conformational changes in proteins and the protein concentration determination. Quantitative determination of the protein concentration and the secondary structure elements (alpha-helix, beta-sheet) from the analyzed protein samples is accomplished within seconds via internal calibrations.
The VERTEX 80 and the VERTEX 80v vacuum FT-IR spectrometers are based on the actively aligned UltraScan™ interferometer, which provides PEAK spectral resolution. The precise linear air bearing scanner and PEAK quality optics guarantees the ultimate sensitivity and stability. The VERTEX 80v is an evacuated optics bench that can eliminate atmospheric moisture absorptions for ultimate sensitivity and stability; enabling demanding experiments such as high resolution, ultra fast rapidscan, step-scan, or UV spectral range measurements.
The VERTEX 80/80v optics design allows PEAK flexibility and at the same time PEAK instrument performance. The unique Bruker Optics DigiTect™ technology prevents external signal disturbance, guarantees PEAK signal-to-noise ratio and allows easy and reproducible detector exchange by the instrument user. The two optional external detector ports accommodate the liquid He dewars of bolometer and/or hot electron detectors. In combination with the external water cooled high power Hg-arc source, the recently rediscovered terahertz spectral range is accessible even with a room temperature operated DTGS-detector.
The VERTEX NEO R represents the new generation of vacuum FT-IR spectrometers, designed to set new standards in advanced research applications. With an emphasis on flexibility, precision, and innovation, it delivers the ultimate support for cutting-edge scientific exploration.
Building on 50 years of success in the FT-IR academic and research market, we proudly present our next-generation FT-IR vacuum research spectrometer VERTEX NEO R. Designed with cutting-edge technology and well-proven unique features, this new instrument is not just an upgrade – it’s a revolution! More powerful electronics, more flexible optics bench, all new vacuum ATR technology, VERTEX NEO R is designed to push the boundaries of scientific discovery and continue our legacy of superior VERTEX performance.
Thermal Analysis provides ideal tools for the characterization of organic and inorganic, either solids or liquids. Thermodynamic transitions, thermal stability, decomposition and chemical reactions can be detected and quantified with high accuracy over a broad temperature range
The identification of gases released directly from the sample or during thermal treatment cannot be performed just by thermal analysis, but coupling a spectroscopic method such as Fourier-Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is an excellent solution.
The IFS 125HR is the ultimate instrument for the high resolution IR spectroscopy
In absorption or emission mode, the IFS 125HR can resolve highly complex spectra into discrete lines for recognition and spectral assignment.
The IFS 125HR electronics provides Ethernet connectivity and data acquisition based on the DigitectTM system using 24-bit ADC’s integrated with the detector. The standard MIR spectral range can be easily extended to the NIR, visible, or even UV.
The external accessory PMA 50 has been specially developed for Polarization Modulation measurements. It can be adapted to Bruker INVENIO and VERTEX FT-IR spectrometers. All optic and electronic components in the PMA 50 module are optimized for the Polarization Modulation. Both linear dichroitic measurement techniques like PM-IRRAS and circular dichroitic experiments like VCD spectroscopy can be realized using this dedicated system.
The core of the Polarization Modulation technique is the Photoelastic Modulator (PEM) with a nominal modulation frequency of 42 kHz. With the help of the parallel 24-bit dual-channel data acquisition technology the sum and the difference signals can be collected simultaneously with highest sensitivity. The PMA 50 module exhibits short beam path, and therefore provides optimal S/N ratio and stability.
